And secures the key!
"Finally!, we must now get out of this horrid place!"

His last man stands guard.

Drakhirri - Zahru"Charge!"

They make it to the portal and enter, one by one.

The book is brought through the portal,

And F!SH goes through last, having finally escaped with their objective.

The portal reappears far away, near the source of a river. It spew them all out, falling into the water.
"Get your hand off of my-""That's my elbow you-""I'm sure yaoi fangirlsand arkbrik would get a kick out of this!"

"Well, I suppose a thanks are in order. Because of you, Pembridge is going to have a much needed boost in strength in the conflict in Fantoria."What? How the pedonuker did you get all the way here from somewhere that far away?"

"Naval power is a necesity in our ever-changing world. Those iron turds you sailed here from Medivo won't stand a change against some of the newer ships that are being developed across the continents."

"...Great... we'll just be taking our money now..."

"You mercenaries never change."

The ship sails away, leaving the Drakhirri to ponder their future.

"...Where the hell are we?"

The Peach boat ends its long journey through the rivers of the disputed territories and finally stops at what appears to be the border of the Peach Principalities.

They are spotted by a Peach Ranger.

"Lord Reginald, is that you? The Empress has been awaiting your return for some time now."

They arrive at a nearby fort being constructed by yellow slaves.

Reg: "So I see that my sister has been keeping the army busy in my absence."

Garrison Commander: "Yes, we've made great territorial gains since you've left. The Imperial Empire is in shambles, and we've used that opportunity to seize much of the outlying lands."

Reg: "That's all very good and all, but I must return to Castle Del Vaye and report to her... I doubt she'll be pleased with what has happened at the flooded plains..."

A short time later, at the southern entrance to Castle Del Vaye, the capital fortress of the Principalities.

Shaman: "Reg! How was the expedition?"

Reg: "Not good for us at all. We were unable to recover the artifact, and the Iron Scorpions now have full control of the region. They've also taken the Imperial king hostage and slaughtered some of the undead that have been popping up lately. On the plus side, I found a hoe!"

Shaman: "Another? Well, okay, put her with the ones the Handmaid found."

The Hoe reunites with her friends as Reg prepares to report to his sister, the Empress.

Reg: "Honey, I'm hoooome!"

Torpeli: "About damn time, you irresponsible shithead!

Reg: "It's great to see you too, sweetie."

Empress: "So I assume you've failed horribly, Reg?"

Reg:"Well..."

Empress:"I could care less. The Flooded Plains are of little consequence to us. What we should be worried about is Portsmith.

Reg:"The Lions? They pose no threat. The Imperial dynasty is in shambles."

Empress:"Of course it is! Portsmith, however, has been using their weakness as power for them. They've already declared war on the Iron Scorpions and have taken over much of the Disputed Territories, as well as many of the former Imperial lands."

"Who knows when they'll target us next?"

At a secret meeting of the representatives of the Imperial Territories:

Sir Ayvis; Regent of Skaia:"So it appears that our King, the high and mighty Lord Dipshit McStupidFuck has gotten himself kidnapped."Lady Eylind; Maid of the Woods: "The question is: 'Do we pay the ransom?' and 'How?'."

Kazdor the Yellow; Northlands: "Let 'im rot!"

Sir Raymond of Portsmith: "I think I know what to do. I have something the Iron Scorpions will want. I'll give them the ransom and then he'll see just how much he needs us."

Later, at an Iron Scorpion Prison Camp.

Isn't someone coming to get me? It's not like I'm important or anything."

Iron Scorpion:"My lady, someone is approaching!"

Sir Raymond:"I have come to pay the ransom you've requested."

Iron Maiden:[i]"So I was right, your country has had our idol all of these years... let him go!"

"Get out."

King: "Thank you, Ray, I figured you'd be the only one out of those dunces loyal enough to me to-"

Iron Scorpion: "Step back! Don't even think about shooting the lady!"

Sir Raymond:"Relax. I have no further quarrel with your people today. You may keep the idol."

"Sorry about the mess."
